Wylie & The Wild West
Текст песни Equus Caballus

Words: Joel Nelson, Music:Wylie Gustafson (Two Medicine Music) BMI

I have run on middle fingernail through Eolithic morning

And IA've thundered down the coach road with RevolutionA's warning

I have carried countless errant knights who never found the grail

I have strained before the caissons, IA've moved the nationA's mail

IA've made knights of lowly tribesmen, kings from ranks of peons

IA've given pride and arrogance to riding men for eons

IA've grazed among the lodges, teepees and the yurts

Felt the sting of driving whips, lashes, spurs and quirts

I am roguish- I am flighty- inbred and lowly

IA'ma nightmare gone wild I am

Gallant and exalted- stately and noble

IA'm awesome- I am grand I am

The Horse

I have suffered gross indignities from users and winners

IA've felt the touch of kindness from losers and sinners


I have given for the cruel hand and given for the kind

Heaved a sigh at Appomattox when surrender had been signed

I can be as tough as hardened steel- fragile as a flower

I know not my endurance I know not my own power

I have died with heart exploded beneath the cheering stands

Calmly stood below the hanging noose of vigilante bands

I am roguish- I am flighty- inbred and lowly

IA'ma nightmare gone wild- I amA…

Gallant and exalted- stately and noble

IA'm awesome- I am grand- I am

the Horse

So IA'll run on middle fingernail until the curtain closes

IA'll win for you your triple crown IA'll wear for you your roses

Toward you who took my freedom IA've no malice or remorse

IA'll endure IA'll last forever I am

The Horse
